Direct 3D Problem

jotechApr 7, 2008, 3:28 PM

My problem is that i cant run any application that requires 3D so i did the directX diagnostic and it said that Direct 3D is not available but it worked properly before. It says not available in the display tab and i cant click the enable/disable button. Common errors i get in display are D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE and dll not initialized.I already tried downloading the lastest driver upgrades from the manufacturer and downloading the latest DirectX updates. I have tried in diferent forums but no one can solve the problem. For almost 3 months i been having this problem if someone knows how to solve this plz post.

------------DxDiag Notes------------ DirectX Files Tab: No problems found. Display Tab 1: No problems found. Direct3D functionality not available. You should verify that the driver is a final version from the hardware manufacturer. Sound Tab 1: No problems found. Sound Tab 2: The file btaudio.sys is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer. Music Tab: No problems found. Input Tab: No problems found. Network Tab: No problems found.

Try uninstalling the video card driver, then reinstall it, then DirectX. Also make sure the Hardware Acceleration slider on the Troubleshooting tab for Display Properties is set to maximum. If it's still a no go I'd just put in a new video card, as the Intel onboard is pretty weak. You are downloading the DirectX redistributable, right? There's also a version for developers...might be worth a try.
